Questions & Answers
Do you think this is Since 1997, I've been bodybuilding five days a week, naturally, and am 5'11" and 210 lbs. It is impossible for you to break this trowel. You have to be really tough to do that. The device can handle whatever you throw at it, and it is ready to take on even more. I am not sure what you are trying to accomplish with the device. Your body will wear out before it wears out this trowel. My experience is that it is not bent or broken when it is hit with hard ground, hitting big rocks.
The standard garden trowel has the shape of a "traditional" shovel, is held in one hand, and is used as a part of gardening. The spade (at least the ones I've used) has a more full-bodied shape, and is also used for gardening. The handle should be of a sufficient height (i.e. if the blade is on the ground, the handle should extend halfway between the belly and chest) and rather than come to a point, there should be an access point to assist with gripping it. There is no bend in the blade (square end). When I need a straight edge rather than a point (for example, cutting out squares of sod) I use a trowel for digging small holes, and a spade for digging large holes. My best wishes go out to you after reading this. I hope it has been of help
Aluminum is what it says on the box. No digging tool could be made out of lead, which is too soft.
It's mild steel, so I don't think so. Either way, it wouldn't make a difference.

I bought it as an add-on item. There should be a refund for me! A TERM LIKE THIS SHOULD BE EXPLAINED ON THE SITE BEFORE YOU BUY! Gardening equipment that is made for home use should not be manufactured! Gardening in general is a good thing to do!.
What are the reasons for doing so? As a matter of fact, I have Furthermore, it says in bold, to emphasize the point It is recommended that you wash your hands after handling any materials. In my opinion, it is not a product anyone would want to own or buy, even with a little more disclosure.
There was a tag on the package saying it contained lead and unspecified substances that could cause cancer and interfere with reproduction. It seems like this information should be disclosed in the Amazon listing (especially the lead). "Wash hands after using" is stated on the tag, however, I am not sure if that is enough to prevent exposure to bacteria. Imagine what it would be like if I had been planting fruits and vegetables with it! It would not be good if the soil were accidentally contaminated with lead. The toxins should have been disclosed so that I could know before I bought and make the right decision.
I recommend the shovel for heavy digging, but I would not recommend it for digging shallow graves. It is great for growing flowers, however.
Other trowels can be found on Amazon for about the same price, you may want to consider that instead if you don't wish to be exposed In these cases, the poisoning of a household would be an excellent choice, if you have an enemy who you wish to poison As soon as you remove the tag, they will be unable to tell what's inside.
Upon a week's use, the handle broke away from the trowel! My own personal experience with Fisker products indicates that the hand pruner I purchased at the same time fell apart after barely a week of use. I have always had success with Fisker products, thus I find it interesting that the hand pruner also fell apart after a week. Are they using a different manufacturer than Fisker? There is no way to make this up to me!.
However, I just went to dig up a weed in my tilled garden and the handle snapped! Even though I would like to think I have SupermanTM strength, the real story is probably that I have a cheap shovel that is poorly built.
With a thick plastic handle on top of a metal shaft, it is made of a cast aluminum alloy. It is comfortable and not too heavy to hold. There was a bit of bluntness to the point, but a disc sander fixed that in two minutes. The only concern is how well the metal will hold up to rocks and other objects pried out from it. Potting soil is ideal for this product. Perhaps you can push it further with some digging, but dynamite can handle that.
